Orange telecommunications financial performance

Overview

Orange Polska reported strong third-quarter financial results for 2026, with revenues reaching 3.59 billion PLN, an increase of nearly 8 percent from the previous year. The company’s net profit for the quarter rose by approximately 44 percent to 328 million PLN.

Following these results, the French parent company, Orange, raised its profit guidance for the third time this year. The operator now expects its adjusted EBITDAal to grow by more than 4.5% this year. This upward revision follows third-quarter revenue of 12.19 billion euros, driven largely by mobile, broadband, and financial services in Africa and the Middle East.

Recent updates confirm the revised EBITDAaL growth target of over 4.5%, up from the previous 4% goal. This follows third-quarter revenues of €12.2 billion, representing a 3.6% increase on a comparable basis. Growth is primarily fueled by international markets, specifically Africa and the Middle East, which saw a 14.2% revenue increase. This contrasts with the French market, where revenue growth was limited to 0.5%.

While Orange reported record sales in mobile, fixed, and convergent offers in France, mobile-only revenue declined by 3% due to lower average revenue per user amid intense competition. Other regional contributors include Poland, with 7.9% growth, and Spain, with 3.5% growth. Additionally, the company remains on track for the €20.4 billion acquisition of SFR assets, with signing planned by the end of 2026 and closing expected by late 2027, pending regulatory and employee approvals.
